This lamp was a good price and I like the neutral shade color and handsome metal finish. But our order had a screw missing that kept the piece that attaches the shade to the bent base, which meant the shade piece would fall down and dangle. Very unattractive. We couldn't find a stock screw that fit, so we ended up just taping some black electrical tape to keep it in place. It works and is barely noticeable, but kind of a pain. As other reviewers mention, it does lean a little. I have it propped against the back of the couch so that helps. But inevitably, guests stand up and bang their head on it. I don't think it works well in my living room layout. Nice lamp, but just didn't live up to my expectations. 

Pros: good value, nice finish, neutral color would work well in many different rooms
Cons: missing screw, leans
